AFH's B.E.A.D. Winter Exhibit!

B.E.A.D. artists and mentors

 This past Monday, Artists for Humanity's Lewis Gallery was filled with the newest work to come out of our newest program, B.E.A.D., which stands for Broadening Education through Art and Design. This new apprenticeship program began recruiting 18-25 year old participants late last year, and Monday night celebrated a successful second session. In just 12 weeks these young adults were given the tools and space to create, learn, and work in a creative environment. The exhibit  is a testament to dedication and talent.  While enjoying their success, AFH mentors and staff provided treats including mentor Stephen Hamilton's own home-fried chicken. Friends, family, and community members came out for this memorable event, and we're so proud of our participants and the impressive work they've created. Check out the pics (taken by the talented Mary Nguyen) below and be sure not to miss out on the next AFH event!

AFH + DP + BPHC = H2O!

As we mentioned earlier, AFH has teamed up with the Boston Public Health Commission to change the way our city thinks about our drinks, particularly the sugar-filled soda beverages that have been fattening up our culture with insidious carbonation and fake flavors. Since September, we've embarked on a unique, energy-filled marketing campaign to showcase the benefits of water and the dangers of sickly sweet sodas, and we've been spreading the message with lightning speed thanks to the student-artists in our Graphics department and the Draco Prosapia (DP) Skate Team. So pour yourself a tall drink of water and check out the newest video AFH and DP created during one of their skate days.
